[5] The Golgi complex plays a key role in the sorting and modification of proteins exported from the endoplasmic reticulum.

[7] It is involved in establishing the stacked structure of the Golgi apparatus and linking the stacks into larger ribbons in vertebrate cells.

[7] It is a caspase-3 substrate, and cleavage of this encoded protein contributes to Golgi fragmentation in apoptosis.

[7][a] Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been identified, but their full-length natures have not been determined.
